Boost is a place to promote better programming practices. And these "catch immediately after throw and swallow" examples just do a disservice to the community.

Are you proposing something broad, that Boost documentation and sample code should adopt as a secondary goal, to teach best C++ practices in general?

Or is the scope of your post limited to just exception handling?

Thanks

I think it's reasonable to expect that boost documentation demonstrate best practices and not antipatterns. Of course there might not be as much agreement on what "best practices and not antipatterns" as people think there are. In fact, I run into this all the time. Robert Ramey
